Dollar Store Survival Challenge

This is my take on the Dollar Store Survival Challenge. Basic rules are: 10$, (not counting tax) for 10 items, and you must use those items for 24 hours, providing as much of your survival priorities as you can.

    James I really enjoyed the video. I don't usually watch a video that long but you kept my interest the whole way. Lot's of good tips. I especially enjoyed the knife sheath. That is a thing of beauty. Certainly a keeper. If you can do all of that with ten bucks worth of gear then I can surely do it with my higher priced tools. Thanks for sharing. BTW I saw what you did before you took your first bite of noodles. I learned that trick many years ago. Makes everything taste better. God Bless. Chief

    Just started watching the old videos on this channel. I think a lot of people missed the point of this channel, teaching along with entertainment. Making the knife sheath and backpack would definitely not be needed to a point but it gives you two benefits. Keeps your mind busy from boredom and creates useful tools. Plus he is showing us something that may come in handy if you have to last longer than 24 hours and need to move. Good video on both aspects.

    Thank you for the kind words! It's always difficult to know what folks are interested in when you do a video of this kind. No matter what you do, someone will always thing you should have done it differently and that's okay. That's what makes this challenge so interesting, to see what can be done on the cheap if you have a moderate level of skills. I enjoy the feedback even if some of it seems negative because it shows people are thinking and interacting with the video and with me. So again, thanks for watching and for the kind comment!

    I searched dollar store camp challenge. I saw this one and said "oh this is one of my channels". I subbed you a couple months ago. I generally don't visit channels, I see something, if I subscribe I take it from there. Anyway, I enjoy watching these type videos, I've seen some good ones and I've seen some silly ones. This one however, is the best I have ever seen. What a great presentation. A well thought out demonstration of knowledge and skills. It is entertaining and helpful to others and true to the challenge. Good job. As a side note, I read the interaction, about giving thanks, between you and @Chiefkirk Outdoors. I don't think I will ever again forget to give thanks. I was brought to shame and thankfulness. I have many things to be thankful for.

I also wanted to do something different than other channels in this challenge plus, I wanted to save the rest of the duck tape for my shelter. I ended up using every bit of it for the backpack straps and then to tape the garbage bag together. There was only 30 feet of it to begin with.

    Your tarp, laid out, then wrapped around all of the other gear, would be the pack, that ties to the frame with a diamond 0 hitch. The cordage could secure the knife sheath together with 3 or 4 loops. That would save many yards of valuable cordage. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

In an actual survival emergency there's a few things I think I would have done differently, but your ideas worked out just fine. One thing I might add, Top Ramen can be eaten dry. Crush it up in the package first, then open. Then eat like potato chips. I use to do that for a snack back in college. lol Thanks.

    Hello, greetings from Southern Ohio. Yes, me too! Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Some people tend to think they know a lot about these type of adventures. I guess it's human nature but I hope everyone learned a little something (or a lot) from this video. I know I did. Like the dog bowl idea. I'm sure it's the best bowl in Dollar Tree. Was wondering if you were hearing a Big Foot tree knock at that 3:00 a.m., awakening. Just having some fun. I've also got a suggestion. I noticed the dog in the beginning. I know I take my canine with me everywhere possible. If a significant other isn't available, we could use our furry friend. Learned years ago that's where the saying 2 or 3 dog night came from. Meaning how cold the night becomes. Of course, if you have a chihuahua it might not work. Anyhow, Mike from OPP lead me here. Appreciate the shared knowledge & the time you took to educate us. Looking forward to upcoming videos.

    I love that you both didn't ask us to subscribe at the beginning of the video and brought in making basic tools, like the hammer and wedge. Can you survive 24 hours with this other stuff? Yes. But can you assure safety or rescue after 24 hours? Having made some basic tools, you already have knowledge and tools incase it takes longer and can apply that thinking to gain self sufficiency and self sustainment.

    I've watched a lot of people take this challenge and seen some great ideas and some dismal failures. The failures always come from trying to use the tools as something they are not. Then they break and are accused of being no good because they were only a dollar. I liked your choices and the way you used them. I also liked that you made chop sticks. I always wonder about that when I see people carving spoons and forks. Our Dollar tree always has a variety of LED flashlights with batteries that are really good but the Dollar stores are all different. I really think the challenge wold be better if the ten dollers were taken to the local good will or even yard sales. The kits would all be different and the choices would be fascinating, though lighter or matches would probably have to be allowed as a given since they would be hard to find at a good will.

    You did quite a bit of work making the backpack and all. I guess it shows how much you can do with some of those cheaper items, but if it was me, I would have just made a hobo bindle to carry the gear and made a simple sheath from 2 halves of a smaller stick and the duct tape. It would save the knife from getting too dull, so you could get more use out of it. Good video, James.

    nice video, I liked everything you made, its shows ingenuity and skill, both are invaluable in a survival scenario, my only concern would be the matches would not last since the dampness would render them useless within a short time, but then, in an actual survival case lasting longer, you would have kept the fire going indefinitely. Thanks again.

Sometimes you just have to be glad that at least one of you is aware and can help the other when the time comes.

    Yes! The interactive relationship of locution intended to produce an epistemological emotion is often not cognitively accepted by those with a misunderstanding of the use of the ironic as the twisting of a word, phrase or meaning in combination with situational propriety can sometimes create derision which obfuscates the speaker's original purpose in the mind of the hearer. Even the wise appreciate a little foolishness now and then. Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Duck tape and cardboard would have been easy, but not as permanent and also I was out for a solid 24 hours with nothing else to do. In a survival situation, keeping yourself busy is very important. Even though it wasn't a real survival situation, it still served the purpose of showing what a person could do if they had to and only had access to dollar store items.

    Ten bucks at Dollar Tree can easily score you the finest Chinesium "10 C's of Survival", and I personally dont think you need any food for a 24hour period but its nice to have. In my opinion that "knife sheath" was a waste of time, energy, and resources when there was cardboard and duct tape right to hand, which have been far less bulky than that chunk of log. O.o

    @@WayPointSurvival Thank you for the reply. You used duct tape on your shelter after you had made the 'sheath' so you certainly had tape left. And yes cardboard scabbards can be flimsy but it would have certainly lasted for the duration of your outing. Your log 'sheath' was probably good practice using those tools, and you certainly didn't need those resources for the short duration of your video, however in a longer term scenario I believe a different, less labor and resource intensive, design would be preferred. If not tape and cardboard then perhaps tape n sticks, a section of Reed, fire baked clay, cloth hardened with coal-pitch, etc. Even though I may disagree a little its still good to see people in the woods. :)

    Thanks for responding. I also purposely didn't use the duct tape because after making the backpack straps, I planned ahead and wanted to have enough to use for the garbage bag shelter. There was, after all, only 30 feet of tape if I remember correctly. I used it all up taping the bags together. There wouldn't have been enough for a sheath anyway. Plus, I wanted to show that you could indeed do relatively more intensive bushcraft tasks with the cheap dollar store items.
